How to Avoid Road Accidents

 
While driving is essential for many in order to move about in their lives, it is one of the most dangerous activities performed daily.
 
It is therefore important to know how to proceed in case you find yourself involved in a traffic collision.
 
Here are some tips on how we can avoid road accidents:
 
First, be a proactive driver, rather than a reactive one. Driving defensively prepares you for emergency situations.
 
Also, practice safe driving habits on the road at all times… even when it is empty, even when there is no police officer around to make sure you make a full and complete stop.
 
Then, avoid aggression and altercations with other drivers when driving your vehicle.
 
And finally, use road signals to communicate with those you are driving alongside.
